Pet Sematary is probably my favorite King book - either that or The Stand. I used to read all his books, as well as other horror books by Dean Koontz and another author whose name I can't remember. But I was so put off by the ending of It that I never read another King book, and soon abandoned the genre altogether.
But Pet Sematary was awesome. Louis's final trip to the burial ground was particularly amazing. And while most of the movie did a good job in capturing the feel of the book, it absolutely fell on its ass in that part - wasn't scary at all, just cheesy and lame with horrible special effects. That all but ruined the film.
Hopefully the new movie will improve on that. Drastically.
